PENGELOMPOKAN DAERAH PENGHASIL BAHAN DASAR TEPUNG KOMPOSIT DI INDONESIA MENGGUNAKAN METODE LATENT CLASS CLUSTER ANALYSIS (LCCA)

Abstract

Wheat as a base substance of flour, is a source of carbohydrate which is most used for the manufacturing of variety of foodstuffs. Substitution a part of flour with composite flour for manufacturing food will decrease dependency of imported wheat.This research aims to classify the area which produce base substance of composite flour in Indonesia.For this research we will know a group of provinces which become center of production and development target of local resources potency. One way that is used to grouping the object is cluster analysis. In development, there is another grouping technique used, namely Latent Class Cluster Analysis (LCCA).The results show that the selected model from grouping using LCCA is 3groups. The first group is the enough potential area as a production development center. While the second group have the greatest potential area. Meanwhile the last group is the less potentially area.
